Historically there have been no underground storage tanks. The owner has no knowledge of <br /> above ground storage of chemicals. There are no records of chemical use on the site (see �3 <br /> appendix). <br /> 3.3 Description of A I Current On-Site Potential and/or Known Above and Below Ground <br /> Sources of Contamination Identified at the Project Site: Presently there are no underground <br /> storage tanks on the property and visual inspection did not produce any evidence of buried <br /> containers, as well as no odors that would be associated with buried chemical tanks. There are no <br /> storage tanks above ground. There are no above ground fuel tanks on the site. The site includes 3.3) <br /> a homesite. There are no drainage courses through the property. There is a drainage ditch outside <br /> the boundary of the project located west of the west property line. A portion of the site runoff <br /> drains to this ditch. <br /> 3.4 Description of All Past Off-Site Potential and/or Known Above and Below Ground <br /> Sources of Contamination Identified in the Area of the Project Site: Predominately, the area <br /> consists of rural residential development. There are vineyards to the east and a mix of rural �) <br /> residential to the north and east. South of the site is an existing dairy. The field west of this site <br /> raises seasonal crops for the dairy. <br /> As with most dairies, there is a possibility for elevated nitrate levels in the groundwater. No <br /> groundwater testing was performed as part of this report. As a Condition of Approval for the <br /> Tentative Map, a Soils Suitability Report will be required. Water tests will be performed. /\ <br /> Nitrates and DBCP will be the two constituents tested in the groundwater. If abnormal results ( "116' <br /> _ are encountered, the information will be disclosed to the prospective purchasers of the parcels. <br /> 3.5 Description of all Present Off-Site Potential and/or Known Above and Below Ground <br /> Sources of Contamination Identified in the Area of the Project Site: The present potential of <br /> ` groundwater contamination is essentially unchanged from the past sources. Three additional <br /> homesites should have virtually no impact on the groundwater. <br /> 4.0 EVALUATION OF PAST AND CURRENT SOURCES OF <br /> CONTAMINATION IDENTIFIED AT OR NEAR THE SITE AND <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER ACTION: <br /> 4.1 Evaluation of Each Potential and/or Known Source of Contamination Identified for any <br /> Real and/or Potential Threat to Human Health and the Environment: The depth to ground <br /> water in this area is approximately 140 feet. Due to this depth, any pesticides, insecticides, and <br /> fertilizers used on the property in the past or present would have a minimal impact to the ground <br /> water. The existing home on site does not pose any significant threats to ground water or the l <br /> surrounding environs. As stated previously, there is no history of chemical use on the site. <br /> 5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SECTION: <br /> 5.1 Discussion of the Above Evaluation: There are no chemical containers or fuel storage tanks <br /> on this site,thus there is no potential for contamination. As was stated above, the existing home <br /> on the site does not pose any significant potential for contamination to the project site, and no <br /> .. mitigation measures are recommended. <br /> 2 <br />
